| Obverse description | Laureate, draped, and cuirassed bust of Antoninus Pius facing right, depicted from the rear with the paludamentum (military cloak) visible over the cuirass. The emperor's effigy is rendered in the provincial Alexandrian style typical of second-century Egyptian coinage. The encircling Greek legend names the emperor with his full titulature. |

| Reverse description | Sarapis depicted standing facing, his head turned to the left, wearing the modius (a distinctive cylindrical crown) and holding a long sceptre in his left hand. At his feet, Cerberus, the three-headed guardian of the underworld, is shown seated. The composition reflects the syncretic Graeco-Egyptian cult of Sarapis, which was particularly prominent in Alexandria. The reverse date legend appears in the field. |
